Can a package design help influence people to recycle it? Fascinating research by Boston University associate professor of marketing Remi Trudel proves that it does. By understanding the science behind consumer behavior, brand owners can create packaging that consumers value so much that they are reluctant to throw it away, even after it has fulfilled its purpose and is empty.

Flex cracks, punctures, abrasion, and seal creep—these are all potential failures that can result in a breach of the sterile barrier. Experts from Oliver Healthcare Packaging and Packaging Compliance Labs will help you better understand the root cause of such failures by examining the key dynamics at play during simulated transportation testing. In this complimentary, 1-hour webinar, co-founder of Packaging Compliance Labs, Ryan Erickson will team up with Kevin Zacharias, technical director of Oliver Healthcare Packaging, to cover various root cause scenarios, exploring where in the process failure occurred and discussing how to mitigate risk going forward. With real world examples, this is one webinar every packaging professional should attend! View this free event on-demand now!

In this webinar we will show how computer simulation is being used to help packaging companies predict design behavior and response, and prevent product failure when subjected to various conditions. Many companies typically think they do not have the time, resources, or funds to implement simulation into their product development. On the contrary, the well-documented ROI secured from implementing successful simulation strategies can help drastically increase profit margins. Sponsored by Altair Engineering

DuPont completed submissions of all Regulatory Reports for the Tyvek® Medical Packaging Transition Project (MPTP) through 1-year real-time aging in August 2015 and has been following up with face-to-face meetings with the U.S. FDA, Health Canada and five Notified Bodies in Europe. In this webinar, the team will share up-to-the-minute regulatory news; provide the latest data—including some 7- and 10-year accelerated aging package data; and discuss commercialization plans. Attend this webinar to get the latest information to help ensure that your organization is ready for the Tyvek® Transition.

As a packaging professional, you are challenged on a daily basis to design and develop packaging that must meet ever-increasing demands and requirements. The focus of this webinar is on lessons-learned in the design, development, and implementation of flexible barrier packaging in the medical device industry from the perspective of flexible packaging manufacturers and converters. Members of the Technical Committee of the Sterilization Packaging Manufacturers Council will share examples of some of the most common missteps that are encountered in package development and offer guidance on how to avoid falling into these traps.

In this webinar, the DuPont™ Tyvek® Medical Packaging Transition Project (MPTP) team will share the latest data and reports summarizing testing results across 100,000 packages from 55 medical device manufacturers globally. With about 80% of results in so far, the project is on track for submission to the U.S. FDA slated for this summer and commercialization beginning in the third quarter. Attend this webinar to get the latest information to help ensure that your organization will be ready.

To date, DuPont has shared a tremendous amount of data for the Tyvek® Medical Packaging Transition Project (MPTP). In this webinar, DuPont experts will provide additional information on the concept of functional equivalence to help medical device manufacturers understand how they might consider using this wealth of data in their risk assessments. Using a common everyday example, the presenters will explain the difference between functional equivalence and statistical significance. They will also discuss how functional equivalence leads to interchangeability. In addition, the presenters will respond to specific questions we have received regarding regulatory guidance and transition timing. Attend this webinar to learn what functional equivalence really means and to understand how it can facilitate your risk assessments.

In this webinar, the DuPont™ Tyvek® Medical Packaging Transition Project team will share the first complete summary of pre and post sterilization package data and the latest accelerated aging results. This marks the first of five published data reports summarizing testing results across more than 70,000 packages from 40 medical device manufacturers globally. This milestone underscores DuPont's intended commercialization in the third quarter of 2015. Attend this webinar to get the latest information to help ensure that your organization will be ready.
